Installation on stand-alone machine
General Steps
Performing an installation on a stand-alone machine includes the following steps from the Windows Client:
o Installing the HOPEX programs (HOPEX Kernel).
o Installing a HOPEX Environment for test.
o Installing the HOPEX License.
It is assumed that the repository storage is GBMS. Otherwise:
• A HOPEX Environment should be available in a database server.
• If storage is SQL Server, SQL Server native client should be installed on the machine.
Pre-requisites:
Confirm that you have:
• Local administrator rights for the machine (for updating the system).
• 'Full control' of the installation folder.
• 4 GB free space in the installation folder.
• A system that is supported for this version of Windows Front-End
See document 'Windows Front-End Architecture Overview HOPEX V2 EN'.
• Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015 installed.
See also the section 'FAQs' of this document.
• A HOPEX local license. Consult your sales representative to obtain a license. You will get a license file and instructions to install it.
• Internet Explorer 9.0 or higher is installed.
Installing on the Windows client
Procedure:
• Insert the HOPEX disk in the disk drive but do not install from the page started automatically (autorun).
• Select the program "\DISK1\setup.exe" and execute in 'Run as administrator' mode
• Select the language of the user interface.
• Accept the license agreement.
• Choose whether the Windows Front-End is installed for all users or for the current user or for all system users (windows users).
• Check the folder in which you wish to install HOPEX, for example:
Folder 'C:\Program Files (x86)\MEGA\HOPEX' for a 64-bit system
This installation folder must not be the root of the drive, for example, it must not be C:\
• In the 'Setup Type' window, select Windows Standalone Setup.
• Run the installation and wait for confirmation of completion.
Result:
• Programs are installed for the Windows Front-End.
• The system of the machine is updated (registry, libraries).
• The Program Features selected by default are installed. Note that no HOPEX environment is created by default.
• The local configuration file (Megasite.ini) contains the following section. It should not be removed.
